Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
• 400 grams Cauliflower, riced
• 60 ml Coconut aminos (or low-sodium soy sauce for non-strict keto)
• 2 tablespoons Sugar-free maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Prepare the teriyaki sauce by whisking together coconut aminos, sugar-free maple syrup, sesame oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and ground ginger. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the cauliflower rice and sauté for 5 minutes until tender. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and pour the prepared teriyaki sauce into the same skillet. Bring it to a simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly (about 3-4 minutes).

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing it to coat evenly with the teriyaki sauce. Let it simmer for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 7

Assemble the dish by serving the teriyaki chicken over the cauliflower rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds on top before serving.
